Increased recovery of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is providing the global recycling industry with fresh challenges. Researchers from Berlin’s University of Technology have been taking a close look at the material flowing into and out of the recycling process, paying special attention to the precious metals content. Their main conclusion is that conventional sorting ...

Sector: Electronic scrap Brown goods, grey goods, white goods – as much as 60,000 metric tons of electronic waste are processed each year at Sims Group’s state-ofthe-art plant in Eindhoven. Analysis Combining this high throughput with a high purity degree of reclaimed raw materials is the constant goal of Paul Verhappen, Senior Process Engineer ...

In this paper, an approach is presented for short-term dismantling planning, including process-induced uncertainty modelled with fuzzy techniques. Weak data resulting from uncertain dismantling time parameters are modelled as fuzzy sets and integrated into a scheduling model that allows the derivation of optimal dismantling procedures. A case study from electronic scrap recycling shows the ...

The Challenge In the US, consumers alone dispose of some 3.2 million tonnes of e-waste annually; more than 80% of this ends up as waste, contributing >70% of all toxic metals in U.S. landfills. In a bid to tackle this wastage, BlueOak Resources. USA announced in July 2014 that they had selected Tetronics' technology for their national project to sustainably recover precious ...

Functional reuse of Integrated Circuits (IC) is effective to recover electronic utilities. Interfacial delamination may occur when the ICs are disassembled from scrapped Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and reduce reusability. In delamination analysis, viscoelasticity of moulding compound is a non-ignorable property as it reduces the stress. It is the purpose of this research to analyse the effect of ...

As the sales executive with an R2 & ISO-14001 certified electronics recycling, scrap purchasing, and asset management corporation, I could write all day about why I think Dynamic Recycling should be your e-recycling vendor. I would rather provide you with the appropriate information to conduct your own evaluation/analysis of what to look for in choosing a recycler that is the right fit for ...

In the modern foundry, there are many options when it comes to choosing the proper shakeout technology for your metal casting facility. Improper selection can lead to poor throughput, casting damage, and unnecessary down time, all which costs your foundry money. There are many di¬erent shakeout designs available on the market today, including brute force, variable drive, and two-mass ...

Mismanagement of discarded electronics within Europe involves a volume 10 times that of e-waste shipped to foreign shores in undocumented exports, according to a comprehensive 2-year investigation into the functioning of the used and waste electronics market. The European Union-funded project, Countering WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment) Illegal Trade (CWIT), was undertaken by ...

Up to now, the recovery of precious metals used as catalysts in chemical processes has involved the use of incineration. Now, however, a British-Swedish joint venture has developed a process which uses supercritical water oxidation instead, which provides many economic and environmental advantages. Precious metals are used extensively in catalysts in a wide range of industrial chemical processes. ...

The recent Electronics & Battery Recycling congress in Toronto featured a personal view on global e-cycling solutions from Alfred Hambsch of Ontario-based Global Electric Electronic Processing - a company involved in the operation of e-scrap plants across three ...

(From Recycling Today Magazine) In with the new, out with the old. A reversal of an old adage is perhaps the best way to describe the increased demand for America’s scrap metals. The world’s hunger for new cars, appliances and buildings was a boon for steel makers in 2004. Global steel production exceeded 1 billion tons last year, a record amount. And as the need for “new” steel products ...

Much of the world’s electronic waste ends up in Vietnam — not only cell phones, computers, printers and TVs, but also items many people may not think of when they consider e-waste, such as washing machines, microwaves and fans. This waste is often burned or dumped in landfills where toxicants ...

Last week media across Canada and the US, including major newspapers and PBS’s highly decorated Frontline news series, reported the findings of a team of University of British Columbia journalism students, who uncovered a hard drive containing sensitive U.S. defense information while filming a documentary in Ghana. According to the reports, the B.C. students, who were studying how ...

After using a Lindemann scrap shear type LU 1250/15 PA 90/25 intensively for 21 years at its headquarters in ’s-Gravendeel, the Dutch firm HKS Scrap Metals found that the machine’s hydraulic system was not functioning up to par, as is inevitable with any system subject to wear and tear. As a result, production had dropped significantly – from 35 t/h to 22 t/h. The year was 2010, ...
